Eaton VPH22170 Linear Fluorescent Light - Class I, Div 2

Hazardous-location readiness and NEC/CEC compliance are built into the VPH22170. By conforming to Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 ratings, the fixture supports safe operation in environments with flammable vapors or dust and minimizes regulatory risk for audits. The inclusion of a NEMA 3R enclosure further protects against moisture and impact, making it suitable for outdoor-rated installations or washdown areas in industrial facilities. Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of its design: 17 watts driving two T8 lamps delivers reliable brightness with lower energy costs and reduced heat generation. The through-feed ballast configuration minimizes voltage drop across long runs, while the acrylic lens maintains light quality and glare control under challenging ambient conditions. This makes it attractive for continuous operations such as assembly lines and processing areas where consistent illumination matters. Through-feed wiring with two 1/2 inch NPT hubs provides flexible mounting and conduit routing, supporting both retrofit and new-construction projects. The 120–277 VAC, 50/60 Hz capability ensures compatibility with common facilities electrical systems, reducing the need for multiple part numbers or adapters. Field replacements are straightforward, helping minimize downtime during maintenance windows. Durability is engineered into the fiberglass-reinforced polyester housing, which resists corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure typical of hazardous environments. The 2 ft length (25.8 in), 7 in width, and 5 in height strike a balance between coverage and space constraints in vertical stanchions, utility rooms, and instrument alcoves. With a weight of 8.5 lb, installation crews can handle and reposition the unit without excessive effort. Compatibility with 2-lamp fluorescent configurations and a T8 bi-pin lamp type ensures easy lamp replacement and broad spares availability. The unit’s rugged construction pairs with a long service life, delivering a lower total cost of ownership compared with less-durable fixtures in hazardous settings. Overall, the VersaPro VPH22170 offers dependable, compliant lighting that reduces downtime, supports OSHA and NFPA guidelines, and helps engineers meet project timelines.
